  • In just 3 easy steps, you'll be able to flash freeze a bottle of water just by touching

  • it. Next you'll learn how to to freeze flowing water, the instant it's poured from the bottle.

  • And your training will be complete when you can eliminate the bottle altogether. Now this

  • might seem slightly supernatural, but you don't have to be a master to do it. In this

  • project, we're discovering the secrets to Ice-bending - in real life.

  • For this project, we'll be using these bottles of purified water. I've got the 16.9 ounce

  • bottles, and they've never been opened, so the water is extremely pure. Now the secret

  • to instant ice is just about as simple as placing your bottles in the freezer. I let

  • these ones sit for 2 hours and 45 minutes exactly, and here you can see the water is

  • still liquid, but it's actually cooled down to a temperature well below freezing. All

  • it takes from this point is a sharp jolt to the bottle, and you can see the water flash

  • freezes to ice right in the palm of your hand. How cool is that? You can also start the reaction

  • by using an ice crystal, like one these ice cubes. Just carefully remove the cap from

  • the bottle, and pour the water directly onto the ice. The water immediately beings to crystalize,

  • giving you the power to create your own instant ice sculptures. The end result is a slush

  • that has the consistency of a watery snowball .. which, of course, is 100% edible, and refreshingly

  • delicious. Now try pouring your super-cooled water into a clean glass, and drop a bit of

  • ice right in the center. You'll see the ice crystal beings to grow until it fills the

  • glass completely. That's perfectly chilled for a hot summers day. Alright, let's finish

  • up by dipping just the tip of an ice cube in to see what happens. Within a couple of

  • seconds it's frozen in place, and the entire cup is solid. Well, now you know the secret

  • to pouring yourself some instant ice, and making water freeze on command. Now, if you'd

  • like to see more of the technical details, check out my other video with tips, tricks,

  • and things to watch out for when making Instant Ice. That's it for now. If you liked this

  • project, perhaps you'll like some of my others. Check them out at www.thekingofrandom.com
